Safety fears hamper New Zealand rescue work after landslide

Two teenagers are among those missing after heavy rains triggered Thursday’s landslide at Mount Maunganui on the island’s east coast, bringing down soil and rubble at the site in the city of Tauranga, crowded with families on summer holidays. No deaths resulting from the natural disaster have been reported. Fire and Emergency New Zealand said on Saturday that 35 rescue workers, assisted by heavy machinery, were removing debris at the site after a partial slip in a section of the search area around 6 p.m. local time on Friday. “Personnel have not searched that area since for their safety, but it is being continuously reassessed,” fire and emergency official Megan Stiffler said in a statement. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
